00:00How do you find this side of the job, because you spend so much time talking nowadays, don't you, as a manager?

00:05Media, yeah. We need to double them up more, don't we?

00:08Saturdays and the Tuesdays.

00:10You just feel like you're saying a lot of the same things over and over, you know, when you're doing it.

00:16And also, you guys know, there's no way I'm telling you exactly what I'm thinking all the time.

00:24There's no way I'm giving you information that the opposition can capitalise on,

00:30whether that's injuries, whether that's what we've been working on,

00:33whether that's what went really well the game before or not.

00:36So that's frustrating, because you know you're fobbing people off,

00:41but you just can't do it, or you're just giving too much away.

00:45So, yeah, that's the worst side of it, because sometimes I feel like pointless and meaningless conversations,

00:51but we've got to do them.

00:53Is it very different in the Premier League, because you get asked about all sorts, don't you?

00:57Right, there's crackers there, yeah.

00:59But sometimes you get into ones like, it could be a Scandinavian TV station,

01:05all they're bothered about is a Scandinavian player being on the pitch,

01:08and they can be really disrespectful and patronising to everything else at your club and what you're doing.

01:13But you've got to do it, because it's what brings the money in.
